Jeff V’s 1987 Schwinn World Sport

Jeff V here with an OTWS (12 spd) Schwinn World Sport which I believe is an ’87 model. As you can see, it is very clean, with the black paint contrasting nicely with white World Sport lettering on the top tube and turquoise-blue Schwinn on the seat tube. Has SIS index shifting…..alas perhaps a bit too snooty for an OTS submission, but I purposely bought some “wide white” 27 inchers, which I feel completes the “pimp my ride” look and brings it down to earth. Saddle is not original, but all other components are. Enjoy!

For myself, Old Twelve Speed bikes still qualify for posting!
What a great survivor; looks like it’s in great shape, Jeff!

Great colors, I would love to get my hands on that bike.
I think this being The “Old” Ten Speed Gallery, this would be the perfect place to post it. I notice on the close-ups the paint looks a little rough. You might want to try using Meguiars Cleaner / Polish. It is great stuff and will really bring that paint back to life. A little black nail-polish will work wonders on the paint chips too.

Hey that looks just like my bike! I got mine as a gift from my parents when I was 13 or so and it is still going strong. I’ll have to get some pictures and post them here!
